November Buzz from the Hive

This “Buzz from the Hive” is all about giving thanks!  Mrs. Smith’s class would like to thank our families from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for believing in us. It’s because of you we can reach all of our goals, dream as big as the sky, and “bee” anything we want to “bee”.  In class we have discussed reasons why we are thankful for each other and how each  person in our class makes our classroom family unique and special. We’ve had some really exciting things happen recently. First, our class had so much fun at Red Walk! We learned a lot about being safe and being drug free and living a healthy life. It was so cool learning how to do the Thriller Dance with Mrs. Smith. In addition to that, Mrs. Smith says we have become outstanding writers. We have elaborated our writing pieces with lots of details. We have also learned to stay organize so our writing flows. We really are “write” on track! Also, we have been really focusing on our Reading Comprehension Strategies. It is getting easier and easier because of all of our practicing. Lastly, we have been switching classes for Math. We really like learning from different teachers. We have been learning about rounding numbers, estimating, strategies for adding and subtracting numbers in the thousands and hundred thousands, and a little bit about elapsed time and fractions! We have become Math Masters with our 3 times tables and now we are moving on to 4’s!

This month’s top Bees to recognize are Colin and Tegan! Let’s see what all the buzz is about!

Colin:  Colin is most excited to learn his 4x’s facts in math. His favorite subject is Reading. His favorite thing to do with his family is go fishing at the beach. His favorite book series is Diary of a Wimpy Kid. When he grows up he would like to be a penguin expert because he is very interested in   penguins and he thinks it would be fun.

 

Tegan: Tegan is most excited to learn math in 3rd grade. She likes  multiplication. Her favorite thing to do with her family is talk about her family and where they live. Her favorite book we have read so far is Guinea Dog. When she grows up she would like to be a vet because she likes animals.
